Conference Over; Now the Work Begins

My head feels like it's going to explode (literally and figuratively, since I have a massive headache) from all of the information I absorbed during the last two days at the SDSU Writers' Conference.

I had great consultations with two agents about my two completed books and got good feedback from both of them. Now I need to incorporate their suggestions and give each manuscript at least one good read-through.

The agent who read my women's fiction novel asked me to send her my first three chapters after I revise the manuscript. The other agent ... didn't ... but I might at least query her after I revise my young adult novel and see if she's interested in reading the first three chapters. She liked my opening, but recommended some changes, and she seemed to like my concept when I explained the plot to her, so ... you never know.

All-in-all it was a good conference and money well spent. I met two other agents who said I could send them at least a synopsis, so I did some fruitful networking. Yay me!

Now, back to work!
